If you’re like me and get giddy every time Concord & 9th drops a new release, then buckle up, crafty friend—because May’s collection is bursting with creative goodness! 💚
I’m beyond thrilled to be this month’s Guest Designer, and over the next few days, I’ll be sharing five brand new projects—each one featuring a different star from this release.
But before I dive into the cards, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of the full May Release so you can check out all the new products in one place (and maybe sneak in an early order or two 😉).
May 2025 Release
May 2025 Full Release Bundle
Yes, it’s a big spend—but honestly? It’s also a big yes please! 🙌 If you’ve fallen in love with multiple items from this release (guilty! 🙋♂️), this is your one-click ticket to grab everything in one go—no FOMO, no sell-outs, no piecing it all together. I love that Concord & 9th bundles the full release like this—it’s perfect for those of us who want the lot (and know we’ll use it!).
You get every single product from the May release, and it arrives beautifully packaged and ready to dive into. For me, it’s the ultimate creative jumpstart—no second guessing what coordinates with what, just pure crafty joy from start to finish.
Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the brand, this bundle is like giving your future crafty self a giant high five. 👏✨
Desertscape Bundle
Okay, let’s start with a personal fave—I love a scene-building set, and Desertscape totally delivers! The cacti, the layered hills, the sweet little blooms… it’s just so peaceful and grounding to create with. I had the best time ink blending sunset skies and arranging the elements like I was building a mini postcard.
What really makes this bundle special is how versatile it is—you can go soft and serene or bold and graphic depending on your colours and techniques. I even tried heat embossing the sun and moon elements for a dreamy celestial look, and it totally worked!
Pennant Party Bundle
You know when you just need a go-to celebratory set that works for everything? That’s exactly why I’m obsessed with the Pennant Party Bundle. Whether it’s a birthday, graduation, retirement, or just celebrating life’s little wins, this bundle brings the fun.
The mix-and-match pennant shapes are brilliant—you can layer them up with patterns, bold sentiments, or even keep them clean and modern. I tried a rainbow layout (of course), and it looked so joyful strung across a card.
Pickleball Pals Bundle
Okay, hear me out—even if you’ve never picked up a paddle, this bundle is too cute to resist! The Pickleball Pals Bundle completely surprised me in the best way. It’s light-hearted, punny, and just full of character.
I love sets that make me smile while I’m crafting, and this one totally does that. The little sporting accessories are perfect for building up themed scenes or just sprinkling in fun details. And the sentiments? Cheeky without being cheesy—great for sporty friends or those who just appreciate a playful card.
Roll With It Bundle
Retro lovers, this one is calling your name! As soon as I saw the Roll With It Bundle, I was instantly transported to roller rinks and disco lights. It’s the kind of set that just oozes movement and energy—and I love that!
Those roller skates are packed with detail, and the sentiments are ideal for encouragement, birthdays, or just sending a pick-me-up. I found myself reaching for bright, clashing colours and funky patterns while using this one—it really pushed me out of my usual colour combos (in the best way).
Simple Pop-Up Dies
Let’s talk WOW factor—these Simple Pop-Up Dies are magic. I love the effect of a pop-up card, but let’s be honest… sometimes the mechanics can be a bit of a brain-bender. These dies make it so simple.
What I love most is that they’re designed to work seamlessly with A2 cards and don’t require fancy engineering. You just run them through your die-cutting machine, fold along the score lines, and boom—instant dimension!
Sunshine & Rainbows Dies
This one’s pure joy in die form. 🌈 I’m all about sending out happy mail, and the Sunshine & Rainbows Dies are perfect for that. The shapes are bold, crisp, and incredibly easy to layer—so your card looks polished even with minimal effort.
What really stood out to me was how much range you can get out of this one. I did a vibrant rainbow one day, a pastel version the next, and then went full monochrome with just the sun elements for something a little different. They all looked fab!
Window Wishes Bundle
If you love building scenes or adding cosy little details, you’re going to adore the Window Wishes Bundle. I was instantly drawn to the arched window die—it’s so elegant and timeless, and really gives that peek-into-another-world vibe.
What I love most is how personal you can make it. Add a little plant pot, a flickering candle, or some soft curtains to tell a story with your card. I created a whole series of seasonal looks—spring blooms, summer light, autumn leaves… even a little Christmas window.
